Book Description
Excerpt from Wonderful Tales From Denmark Xtions, the beautiful thoughts, the quaint drollery, and the kindly feeling to be found throughout. For these stories though, it is true, not all strictly speaking fairy-tales, yet seem to me to come from Fairy-land; for they have the strange witchery about them that when a child reads he sees just such pictures as delight his young fancy; and when a grown-up' person takes them in his hand he is equally delighted, though he sees them quite differently to the child, for to him there are hidden meanings and deep wisdom in what appears to some a mere childish tale. It may seem very magical for a thing to appear quite dif ferent to two persons at the same time, and yet remain unchanged; but so it is. As a proof of this, the lady to whom I have taken the liberty' of dedicating my little book wrote to me some time ago I look forward with great interest to the publication of that charming book, which I shall enjoy quite as much as if I were one of your legitimate readers of eight years old, instead of fifty-eight next Tuesday: so you see that not only the school-boy but one whose genius has delighted thousands, can read them with enjoyment. However, I suppose this is because the good and the gentle-natured, be their age what it may, are all children in heart; taking delight in the same simple things, and moved like most of yourselves by the expression of natural feeling. At Copenhagen, too, these tales are read in the theatre to the audi ence between the acts; so great and so general is the interest they excite.

The Complete Fairy Tales
Author: George MacDonald
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 9780140437379
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 388
Book Description
George MacDonald occupied a major position in the intellectual life of his Victorian contemporaries. This volume brings together all eleven of his shorter fairy stories as well as his essay "The Fantastic Imagination". The subjects are those of traditional fantasy: good and wicked fairies, children embarking on elaborate quests, and journeys into unsettling dreamworlds. Within this familiar imaginative landscape, his children's stories were profoundly experimental, questioning the association of childhood with purity and innocence, and the need to separate fairy tale wonder from adult scepticism and disbelief.
